Thinking that the local political candidate needed to show a more human side of himself, his committee advised him to visit an old peoples home.

Walking into the room of an old man, with the cameras whirring,  the candidate was surprised when the old man offered him some peanuts from a bowl on the table.

“Thank you”, said the candidate after being offered more for the 3rd time, “why don’t you have some yourself?”

“Oh, I can’t eat it”  said the old man, “I don’t have any teeth.”  

“So why do you have them?” asked the confused candidate 

“Oh, I like the chocolate around them ” was the reply.
